She was born in Ireland in November 1920 and was only very young when she and her mum and siblings left Ireland for India sometime before November 1922, as her father was posted to India after WW1. I heard from her sister (my grandmother) that she had died while on the boat to India. I then heard from a niece of hers who has worked on the family tree years ago that from speaking to a brother and another sister of Elizabeth's, she had caught Meningitis when the ship docked and sadly died of Meningitis (don't know the date she died) on the train from Bombay to Junglapaul after having arrived in Bombay from Ireland. When they arrived, they went to Maspatamia and she is buried at Canmor. She was buried the day after her death. I have been coming to the same brick wall each time I try to find a death/burial record of hers as well as a passenger arrival record of her arrival in Bombay. If you can help me in anyway in finding a death/burial record of her or even a passenger arrival record of her and the family then it would be greatly appreciated.
